Red Hill Mining Town Lyrics

From Father to Son
The blood runs thin
I see faces frozen still against the wind
The seam is split

The coal face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone

Our labor day has come and gone
Yeah, you leave me holding on
In Red Hill Town
See lights go down
Hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

Gla*s is cut
Bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night

We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
But I can't live without

Yeah, you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down
I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hanging on
All that's left to hold on to

We scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
We stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost

The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunted child
I'm hanging on

You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to

Love slowly stripped away
Love has seen a better day
Hanging on

Lights go out on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill Town

Lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill Town
Lights go down on Red Hill
